Aaron Donald Completes Second Official Rams Workout as Decision Remains Unmade

His on‑field tests leave open a staged or late return that would require a reworked contract and roster moves before activation.

Overview

  • Donald completed a second official workout at the RamsWoodland Hills facility on Sunday that was reported on the NFL transaction wire because team personnel and equipment were used.
  • Coach Sean McVay said the team is giving Donald space and will not set a firm deadline, and NFL insiders describe the sessions as tests to see how his body acclimates rather than a final commitment.
  • If Donald signs, the Rams must resolve roughly $30–31 million in remaining contract money and make roster and salary‑cap adjustments before activating him.
  • League rules let Donald delay a return into the season — the practical paperwork deadline is the Tuesday after Week 13 — which supports scenarios for a limited‑snap or late‑season role alongside Myles Garrett.
  • Public reaction has shifted from excitement to fatigue as coverage grows repetitive, with playful social posts from Donald’s wife and continuing debate about whether he will seek a full comeback or a managed, graceful exit.
